Guys,
Sorry I have been out of the loop lately. Been in Africa and Mexico on another project.
I didn't know a new thread had been started. You guys move fast! 
On the other thread I said Kirkham would take care of the radiator tank for Doug's FE. I need to know which side outlet he needs? Right or left?
We will also donate:
turkey pan
alternator bracket
return spring bracket
carburetor fuel feeds
Did anyone donate the remote oil filter assembly yet? If not, count us in.
Where do we send the loot?

David,
Thanks SO much for that list of parts, you guys are incredible. I can't thank you enough. As for the surge tank it's a left output, however because the car is a Contemporary, the tank has to be lowered at least 1" from the stock dimension. I don't know if your beautiful tanks can be lowered. Either way, I want to thank you and the wonderful folks at Kirkham for your kindness and generosity. I really truly appreciate your incredible offer, thanks so much!

Left, as in driver's side??? Just making sure. We'll make one today for you.
No problem with the lowered tank. We lowered them some time ago.
Do you need the remote oil filter adapter that bolts onto the water pump?
Happy to help.

Thanks, David. The surge tank needs to exit to the drivers side. Also, I don't think I have the oil filter adapter. Thanks so much!

Doug,
Sorry, but I've lost sequence on your motor? "Your" post is going way out side of our Cobra "Family", Bobbie (Robert) Werner, a "Master Tech." from Ford wants to know if you need any assembly help on your motor? He is volunteering his time, tools, knowledge at extreme discounted rates to assemble your motor. But...since he is of the Younger generation FE's are not his specialty. He asked me if the "Board" would clue him in on any tricks, must do's, don't do's, etc.as needed to get you a bullet proof motor.
Basically answer any questions he may pop up with, or even just tips to make an FE a better motor. He knows over the years the FE's have had a few questions/improvements on the drivetrain.
I told him, Son, if anyone can help build a strong FE motor this Board will have the resources for all your questions!
I told him he could use my Garage of course, but the ultimate answer has to come from you. ???
DV
Soon as I get the room, I'll lay out the "Toys" -Neat stuff- that have come in for your Cobra and List the senders!

Does anyone have any sway with Edelbrock or know someone there that can either donate the heads or provide them at cost?

Dave,
Thanks so much for the heads. Brent feels that the cost of building up a set of Ford heads is more than likely going to approach the cost of a set of Edelbrocks. I have to start poking around looking for a set of used Edelbrocks that'll fit into the budget. If I can't find that or perhaps even a really good price on a set of new ones. then I guess we may have to revisit the Ford heads again. I really do appreciate the offer and your keeping them available as Brent helps me to sort through the various options. The heads are the biggest stumbling block remaining to getting this done, and I am extremely appreciative of your kindness in offering your heads. Thanks so much!

767, if when it is finished and you need to set the chassis up with alignment and scaling i could provide that service. if the car is shipped from mi to i believe tx i am just south of kansas city and might be on the way. i have a hunter alignment machine and the scales and lift to do the setup. someone familiar with your setup would be helpful.
good luck.

Wow, that's great! Thanks so much. I'd love to be able to drive the car to Houston when it's done. I know it's not too smart, but boy would that ever be fun if the weather cooperated. I don't know how K.C. lays in relation to the route, but I appreciate the offer so much. All you guys are just tremendous.

Or you could go ahead and get the Mountaineer's motor out for me... Hey, a guy can dream can't he?
Anyways... Just thought I'd introduce myself as Ed Comb's "personal mechanic." Ford Senior Master technician, specializing in Diesels (ugh), transmissions, and electical. Been working for Ed on and off for about 9 months now, doing what I can to help out with various projects. It appears as though 767's Cobra is going to be making it's way up here to Michigan, and Ed has my open offer to any help on this little adventure, so you may be hearing from me down the road as this gets underway. Long story short, nice to meet y'all and seeing what you're doing for this gentleman reminds me that no matter how hard life kicks you in the teeth, there's someone willing to lend a hend.

I hope you have a million miles of smiles!
